"God, you finally evacuated the overseas Chinese from Java. This is the best news I have received in the past few months. To be honest, I don't know how to compile it. Now I understand how difficult it is for you to do the work in the old time and space, that is, the Office of Military Equipment and Foreign Relations Research and Public Opinion Guide."

"You misunderstood. We didn't have such an institution in the old time and space. What you said is too exaggerated. In fact, your work has been going well over the past six months, and you have already pulled the bonds below 70%.

"But that's not enough. Our goal is to pull the bonds below 50% so that we can make a profit. However, with the news of your evacuation from Java, I am confident enough. But then again, you were really uncooperative some time ago. If it weren't for the news of your evacuation from Java, the bonds would probably rebound again in another week. I wonder if you are our partners."

"That's not a solution, because the government is considering the overall situation, it is impossible to consider only bonds. Moreover, we have invested more than 7 million US dollars and fulfilled our partners' obligations. The rest should be for you to find a way. If we do everything well, what else should we do with you? And so now, hasn't we successfully pulled the bonds below 70%? This means there is still a way."

"That's because the method you taught us is indeed effective, so we can still pull the bonds below 70% under such unfavorable conditions, so your sfa is really amazing. By the way, you should have set up this institution now."

"I say again, we don't have this institution, we didn't have it, and we didn't have it now."

After the Poetsmouth negotiations ended, the East China government and Thomas Anderson, who was also a time traveler, reached a consensus on interests and were preparing to join forces to short the East China government's bonds as the first cooperation between the two sides. The East China government also sent a working group to be responsible for the cooperation and docking work with Anderson. The person who specialized in the negotiations with Anderson was named Han Hongtao. He was originally a time travel soldier. Later, he joined the Ministry of Security. Because of his solid English skills, he was sent to the United States to be responsible for intelligence work.

Although Anderson was an American agent in the old time and space, not a financial expert, the United States in the old time and space was a country dominated by financial capital. Capital tycoons gathered, short selling and selling highs were very common. Therefore, they had never eaten pork and had seen pigs running. Anderson was still very experienced in this.

The principle of financial speculation is not complicated. It is nothing more than using various techniques to criticize or praise a certain financial product, buy when it falls to the bottom, or sell when it reaches its peak. However, the operation is very complicated, because both buying and selling are going against the market, so it will inevitably attract attention. However, Anderson has his own way. He first discussed with different people and registered more than 100 accounts in total to diversify his goals, so it will not attract attention. At the same time, he hired writers in major influential newspapers in the United States to hype financial products.

Most of the wealth Anderson earned in this era was obtained through this method. He had already mastered this operation method. This time he planned to borrow bonds from the East China government and do a big deal and make a complete comeback. Therefore, he was full of confidence.

After the breakdown of the Poetsmouth negotiations, Britain and France led the establishment of the Far East Expeditionary Force and prepared to intervene in the Far East War by force. Anderson seized this opportunity and instructed the hired writers to publish articles in various newspapers, trying his best to criticize the East China government and remind the American people to be careful of the risks of East China government bonds, because once the East China government fails, it is likely that it will be unable to repay the principal of the bonds. As expected, the effect was very significant after this operation. Retail investors lowered prices and sold East China government bonds, causing the bonds to plummet, and once fell to more than 60%. Anderson acquired bonds through all accounts he controlled, and quietly acquired bonds of more than 20 million US dollars.

But at this moment, the East China government first sent troops to recover Chenyang, wiped out 300,000 Russian troops, and launched the Manzhouli Battle, defeated the Russian army, recovered Manzhouli, and completely drove the Russian army out of China. This series of victories greatly boosted the confidence of the American people in East China government bonds, so the bonds suddenly rose sharply, reaching more than 90% in just one week, with a peak of 94%, which is infinitely close to the normal price of East China government bonds.

Anderson couldn't help but feel a little panicked. Fortunately, Han Hongtao taught him a set of operating methods, first of all, trying his best to degrade the victory of the East China government, saying that this was just a partial victory and was not enough to change the overall situation. Moreover, the victory of the East China government was in the Northeast battlefield, and the expeditionary force came from the sea. Therefore, this victory was worthless to the East China government and used the wrong direction.

At the same time, it tried hard to downplay the losses of the Russian army, believing that although the Russian army had failed, Russia itself was strong, and Britain and France provided funds for Russia, which could quell the domestic economic crisis and give Russia enough energy to send more troops to the Far East. It also pretended that there was internal news that Russia had planned to invest another 500,000 troops into the Far East, etc.

Sure enough, after these operations, East China government bonds showed a downward trend. The capital of Bijing was not developed in this era, and almost all the information could only be obtained from newspapers. Most Americans are not familiar with China and the Far East. Therefore, they can only believe whatever the newspaper says. After the newspapers repeatedly criticized the East China government, the confidence of the American people in the East China government will naturally shake. Some people began to sell bonds, and Anderson also sold more than 10 million US dollars in bonds through his many accounts. After so many bonds were invested in the financial market, it immediately caused panic among many American people and sold them together, which triggered an avalanche decline in East China government bonds. After two weeks, it finally pulled down East China government bonds to about 70%. And after the bonds fell, Anderson repurchased, and in the end not only recovered all the bonds sold before, but also purchased more than 3 million US dollars in bonds, totaling about 2,300 US dollars.

However, the bonds were only stable for less than two months. The East China government launched another battle to land in Japan and defeated the Japanese army. At the same time, it also dispatched a evacuation fleet to evacuate the Chinese nation in Java and defeated the British Far East Fleet.

But this time Anderson was prepared. Before the evacuation fleet was dispatched, he first gave the public a vaccination, believing that the Far East Fleet was not the opponent of the evacuation fleet. After the Natuna Islands Battle, he tried his best to exaggerate the strength of the expeditionary fleet. Even if the East China government defeated the Far East Fleet, it was not enough to change the strength comparison between the two sides. He also falsely claimed that although the evacuation fleet won, its own losses were not small, and it was actually just a miserable victory. Therefore, after the expeditionary force arrived, the East China government was unable to resist at all, etc.

It is precisely because of these early preparation actions that the fluctuations of bonds were finally stabilized this time. Although there were only a small ups and downs, they remained at around 70%. However, this price was obviously not satisfactory, and further suppression of bond prices was needed. At this time, the evacuation fleet had evacuated from Java, so we could take this opportunity to further criticize the East China government and suppress the price of bonds. Therefore, Han Hongtao made an appointment with Anderson to negotiate the next action.

Anderson said: "But I still have to thank you this time. Without your help, this action would not have been successful."

Han Hongtao said: "You're welcome, we need to help each other now. However, the expeditionary fleet has arrived in Singapore and will reach the East Asian waters in about a month, and the war will not last too long, so it's best to complete all the work within one month."

Anderson said: "Don't worry, I'm already sure, and I'll start the action soon. This time, within one week, I'll lower the bonds to below 50%, or even 40%, and then buy them at the lowest level. The goal is to buy at least $25 million in bonds. You just wait and collect the money."

Han Hongtao also nodded. This time, the East China government originally planned to invest $5 million, but finally invested $7 million, while Anderson raised $5 million by himself, and the two sides totaled $12 million. According to Anderson's promise, he was to pay the East China government twice the reward, so he would eventually pay the East China government $1,400. If he could finally purchase $25 million in bonds, Anderson would receive $11 million and the corresponding bond interest, and then excluding the related expenses, the final gain was about $10 million. This gain was of course very huge, which would promote Anderson from a millionaire to a millionaire level.

The East China government issued a total of 30 million pounds in the US market, which was converted into about US$145 million. Anderson operated bonds only about US$2,500, which was less than 20% of the total price. Moreover, the harvest was basically retail investors, which did not pose any threat to those capital tycoons, because capital tycoons have strong capital and rich sources of information, and they have comprehensive information than retail investors. They will not sell easily due to short-term fluctuations, which also gives Anderson enough room to operate.

Of course, for the East China government, the recovery of US$78 million in bonds is basically a small matter for the total price of the bonds sold. After all, the East China government not only issues bonds in the US market, but also issues the same number of bonds in the German market. Therefore, it is really nothing to recover such a little. However, through this action, Anderson's execution ability is tested to determine whether to cooperate in depth with him. Now it seems that Anderson's ability can be clearly recognized.
